Lyrica

stupid_in_the_street

Does anyone else take lyrica (pregabalin)? I take this medication for neuropathic pain and migraines and i find that it causes me to be excessivley hungry. I am fine until i eat and then the cravinbgs kick in and my stomach becomes a bottomless pit. If i abstain from eating i experience constant thoughts of food and cravings. It is so intense that i am distracted fron anything else i try to do. It's rather frustrating as i find myself givibg in simply to make the cravings stop. I know it is within my power to resist and stick to a balenced diet, but it is very hard. Does anyone have any ways to combat this?

I take Lyrica (600mg/day) but it doesn't make me hungry at all. The reason I take it contributed to my weight gain, i.e not moving due to disability and not lowering my calories to compensate for it, but not the meds.
